    A lot of younger people simply don’t know that the age we all consider the golden age of middle class America (40s-70s) was so because we TAXED THE FUCK OUT OF THE WEALTHY. As we should.

    If we do not return to doing so, our quality of life is going to continue to decline indefinitely.

    TAX. THE. FUCKING. RICH.

    DON’T VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN’T RUN ON TAXING THE RICH.

        The democrats are cowards, the republicans are evil. If there ever is another proper election in the US, vote independent.

        They wouldn’t want to do that because it would not serve their self-interests.

        Do you honestly expect the fox to prevent itself from guarding the henhouse?

      Conversely, I think most of the county would rabidly support anyone who ran on that platform… Even most Trump voters
